Donald Trump says he has been taking controversial drug hydroxychloroquine to prevent coronavirus. He told reporters: "I take it, frontline workers take it, doctors take it, I take it ...
I would have told you that three or four days ago [but you never asked] the question." Referring to his regular Covid-19 tests, he said "I've shown always negative, right," continuing: "I take it because I hear very good things.
You have to go to frontline workers. Many frontline workers take it." Recent studies have reported serious, in some cases fatal, heart problems in patients using chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine, particularly when taken at high doses or in combination with certain antibiotics.
